Wood polntot U n big wall map to show that Eastoni Washington was orlss-orosied with ra'Iroads, and tilled with big cltlJR, wh'lo Eastern Oregon was a i!oj!t. Three-fourths of tho state was prac tically undeveloped. Harrlman would not build. Portland had not onoimh capital. The state alono could net. Portland capitalists, manufacturorern and business men, tho Grange and tho farmers generally were bat'k of this movement. He read from the book on railroads by Governor 'i.nr raboe, of Ilowa, to show that state' aided and state-controlled railroads wore practical, were profitable and succotsful It made a tremendous Imprcelon on the large audience. The people had the same credit nnd resources that Harrlman had, and could use it with tremendous force t they w anted to, and that was what hey wore now up against.

The only line tho, Shaniko branch was not bul't byllnrrlrpan, but bought by him af ter )t was found to be profltauH. Harrlman had plenty of money to obstruct, but none to construct. Keep out of my preserves, says Har rlman. My preserves are Eastern and Central and Southeastern Ore gon. I spend nothing In Oregon I only collect tolls.
